Jonathan Pryce plays both the good guy and the bad guy, Zartan, and his energy would definitely change as he switched back and forth. In one scene you’re rooting for him; in the next, you totally want him to die. I’ve got a lot of respect for that guy. Zartan is indulging in every scene. When I asked what the big idea in the film was, they said: “The Joes have to assassinate the President of the United States.” Cobra are now the Joes and they’re seen in the world as a force for good.
